@lowowlow

That's a strange one... Hmm...

What version of the nVidia GeForce drivers are you using?
I remember some older versions had a memory leak in certain situations which could cause issues similar to what you describe.

Maybe try running the game at a different resolution, see if there's any change in behaviour (try highest and lowest available resolutions).

OMG! it works, i can't belive this! thank you so much!!!! <3

@lowowlow
Glad it worked out :)

What did the trick, specifically? (in case someone else runs into the same issue)

ILFree

Ребят, здрасте. У меня вопрос: Почему перестал работать звук в игре, она начала лагать жёстко, и видео перестало показывать перед загрузкой меню?

"Guys, hello . I have a question : Why stopped working sound in the game , she began to lag severely , and the video is no longer show before loading the menu ?"

Sound or just music?

You can try this:

In my case, I applied the compatibility mode for Windos 98, but with one of the new .dll files. Now the game runs almost smooth (perfect gameplay).

Also, look for the last update posted by @M123.

@AvionAris Same here, no patch, no DLL needed for Win 7.

@potters
Yes, it works great. I tried to play through LAN and with Tunngle. Check your Hamachi settings.

@potters You need to direct join an IP after the person with that IP hosts a match, and you've both joined the same Hamachi room.

You can also try the https://www.gameranger.com/ software. It supports Machines.

Hello. When I run the game it works perfectly, I do not use the autorun item, as it does not work. I start the game from the application labelled 'machines' and it skips the start menu, but that's not to do with my question. Hayden's instructions do not use the disk 1 iso that he supplied, and seeing as it works, that's ok. But I was wondering, can I burn the disk 1 and 2 iso's to hard disks and install the game the way it was meant to be? I also assumed this might fix the fact there is no music, as I assume that is on disk 2 but cannot be used unless its a hard copy? Either way, it would be great to know, as it saves me trying and failing, but if it does work, it would be great to have a hard copy in English, seeing as I cant speak Italian and that's all I've got. Turns out the English version is hard to come by. Thanks.

@Warharvest_
you can play the music in the background with a music player of your choice :) just get the soundtrack from here: Machines OST.

I have the original discs and still the music won't play.

Warharvest_

@X-Lord
Yeah I've been doing that. It seems strange your originals don't play the music? When I play the game I've installed from here with disk 2 in, it plays the music. Unfortunately it makes the game become Italian, which I don't want.

@Warharvest_
If you have some spare time and a blank CD you can try following these instructions to make a copy of CD2 with (hopefully) working music using files available from wiredforwar.org. As far as I know, it should be the English version...

@X-Lord
Is Machines set to run in a compatibility mode? Some compatibility modes break the CD audio.

@M123
Cool, thanks. I'll get round to doing that, hopefully...
